Quelle est la nature de l'État qui émerge après la lutte pour l'indépendance menée par les esclaves insurgés de Saint-Domingue de 1791 à 1804 ? Quel rôle l'Église catholique remplit-elle dans la construction et dans l'évolution ultérieure de cet État ? Quelles transformations l'Église va-t-elle connaître dans le contexte de luttes à rebondissements pour la démocratie ouvert depuis 1986 ? Grâce à des enquêtes approfondies, menées sur le terrain depuis plusieurs années, et à une recherche alliant l'histoire à la sociologie et à la philosophie politique, Laënnec Hurbon met en lumière la fonction des religions en compétition en Haïti depuis la Conquête et la période esclavagiste (catholicisme, protestantisme et vaudou) dans la constitution du lien social. Cette recherche montre que la laïcité de l'État est un réquisit indispensable à l'établissement d'un système démocratique. En aidant à penser la crise théologico-politique que traverse encore de nos jours la société haïtienne, cet ouvrage nous offre une base solide pour comprendre les sources du régime anarcho-populiste construit en Haïti autour de « la Famille », sur le modèle d'une « Cosa nostra ».

What sort of State emerged after the struggle for independence fought by the rebellious slaves of San-Domingo between 1791 and 1804? What was the role of the Catholic Church in the construction and the subsequent evolution of that State? What transformations have taken place within the Church, in the context of the eventful struggle for democracy that began in 1986? Thanks to in-depth investigations carried out in the region over a period of several years as well as research that combines history with sociology and political philosophy, Laënnec Hurbon casts light on the role played in the constitution of the social corps by the religions competing in Haiti since the Conquest and the period of slavery (Catholicism, Protestantism and Voodoo). This research shows that a secular State is an unconditional prerequisite for the establishment of a democratic system. By helping us to understand the theological-political crisis that Haiti is still going through today, this book provides a solid basis to help understand the sources of the anarcho-populist regime constructed in Haiti around ‘the family', modelled on the ‘Cosa nostra'.
